Ah I remember seeing this in an earlier stage.

Looks like it came along very nicely.

It's got a great suburban feeling and overall good detail.

I like the first and 9th shot the most.

Nice map.

Looks quite moody.

Although I don't like the Ravenholm setting very much but that doesn't have anything with your mapping to do.

bah. besserwisser peri :comeback:

thats cool koko. but you missed some bolts on the left beam?

Omg peri, you're right..

I'm not happy at all with the window tho... but anyway I'm too lazy to do anything about it :cool:

Ill make another one perhaps which is actually in the correct theme

Whoops. I think I misunderstood a bit..

Ah heh thx. I've been thinking about making an "avarage joe" howto make a texture with quite proper diffuse, normal and specular. I wouldn't go into 3d normal mapping then but making a fake one with IE the nVidia filter or better the ATI tool.

However there are a lot of tricks you can use to get your "normal maps" a lot better with that filter too.

Just need to get started on it

Btw. This is the first tutorial in the sticky

Here are mapcore members' tutorials. If you have made a texturing/2d tutorial just pm and post your tutorial in the 2d Art forum and I'll get a link to it into this sticky thread. I will also check regulary and get stuff in here if I find anything new

Very cool Vivi.

I thought about perhaps I should create a sticky in which I will post all tutorials that are made for texture creation or other 2D.

Could start off by adding this one in it anyway

I think my ti4600 sucked ass... but i'm rarely impressed by new cards now anyway, especially not from nVidia I'm afraid :\

Right now I'm on a 7800 which does its job but nothing more so to speak.

I guess you're never happy when you've paid like over 500$ and discovers "so this is it... well worth the money... not :p"

Haven't heard it. Was quite long since I was into RHCP but they've made some nice stuff

well, they aren't only working on pgr afaik

Yeah that video really showed off a lot more ambience than the pics could ever do.

I really dig the feeling you've got in this map.

Wow, reminds me of Prey screens I've seen. Great job

yeah poor mazzle Im dling the demo now.

EDIT:

What a slooooow server...

oh well.

that's HOT IR!

Me likes

Congrats again mazle

Congrats Tayl0r!

Thx H2. And woh! that's a tall one

That should look damn nice on a multi floor building.

Great job h2!

Not bad Nys, looks nice. Kinda strange that the bricks at the top ends at the middle of the brick row perhaps.

Just a small update from my QuakeIV texture set:
